Good point.

The difference is @Seeyounexttuesdaytrainers doesn't seem to want post her reasons for closing the industry down.

No options in the South.

Have they bean called off?

Sure protect your identity but don't go all sanctimonious when you have an avatar that clearly is insulting to all hard working trainers and clearly your sole aim is to get Greyhound Racing banned.

FFS - it doesn't take a deep data dive or a rocket scientist to work it out when your other account was @SeeYouNextTuesday

So? I didn't declare my opinion to be facts as you did nor falsely call misinformation facts!

Just as there is no rule that says I can't ask you the questions I do. Your choice to refuse to answer valid questions however it would tend to reinforce the view that your agenda is to stop Greyhound Racing. Don't you see the irony that you post on BOAY under an avatar that clearly has one meaning.

5 of the races (after nominations reduced to 4) were sort of restricted entry. You had to have raced in eligible ITM series races and earn points to gain preferential entry. BUT there was a condition that any horse could enter the final. Judging by the nominations received for the 2yr old race Final initially I'm not sure all trainers knew about the latter condition. They made the 2yr old an Open which begs the question why have a Winter Series if you can just change the rules if you don't get any nominations. I think Northern Winter Championships concept is poorly constructed. The fields weren't that hot at Trentham either. The reality is it is possibly a sign of a dwindling horse population. Although Ruakaka provided a G4 surface and Trentham a bottomless Heavy 10! I think some trainers may have made a mistake with Ruakaka - especially if they prefer to go round at Pukekohe on Wednesday!

Why didn't you ring direct? Clearly your posts are about your ego and relevance.

So is this about your self promotion and need for relevance or about eliciting the changes that you want that you have us believing are genuine? @Seeyounexttuesdaytrainers only has one agenda and that is to put an end to Greyhound Racing. The irony is that she's supporting you as a way to do that.

Tell me this @TAB For Ever why did the administrators shift two autumn/winter race dates off the Whangarei Racing Club at Ruakaka? Two very successful dates I might add which were well attended by locals. One day had 19 pub teams competing against each other in a punting competition. BTW they had to be oncourse to bet. I bet those same administrators are not decisive when Pukekohe has to be abandoned. Actually why don't they shift the Pukekohe meeting this Wednesday to Ruakaka rather than racing in a cut up bog?

Did I hide it? I'm asking @Seeyounexttuesdaytrainers to actually post her stance about the Greyhound Racing industry and her reasons. Although her avatar name sums her up. BTW @Yankiwi if you have been honest then @Seeyounexttuesdaytrainers isn't on your side.

@Seeyounexttuesdaytrainers

In your own time of course @Seeyounexttuesdaytrainers!

@Seeyounexttuesdaytrainers instead of mis-using fake news emojis why don't you start a Topic explaining to us all why you are Anti Greyhound Racing? We'd all love to hear your rationale and debate with you.

You haven't written any facts just opinion and supposition.

You "thought". Please post the policy. Surely an unnecessary x-ray is not in a dog's interests. Wouldn't that be worse than a dog going on a road trip for a non race? You are a bit inconsistent Chazza.

Then what was the purpose of @Yankiwi to publish it? I know why. Considering I know who you are I don't have to try to out you. As you clearly state I didn't out you. Your issue is you know I know your identity. Your current account isn't your first. No policy has been broken. Weird. Are you trying to hide behind someone else? Do they know that? But you do have an agenda but are too gutless to clearly state what that agenda is. So state clearly you want Greyhound Racing closed down. Given that is your agenda and you are posting on a racing forum you can only expect to get grief.

Primarily because every community has access to racing. In New Zealand misguided attitudes such as yours is denying access. For example the Westland Racing Club which cost the industry annually about what it cost Ellerslie to run their joint for an hour was forced to close. End result lack of local community access to racing. Your figures are wrong for Victoria and NZ however they are irrelevant. It isn't about population numbers it is about access.

@Seeyounexttuesdaytrainers is probably the third from the left.

Bullshit. You have one agenda and that is to close down Greyhound Racing. Don't pretend otherwise. You out yourself in every post. In your own words you allege I TRIED to out you which infers I didn't succeed. @Yankiwi also has an agenda. He may be starting to realise he is irrelevant.

Sam Collett isn't having a good run at the moment!

Bungled start drives punters to Liquor at Doomben www.news.com.au Stewards were forced to declare four non runners in the Fillies and Mares Benchmark 78 Handicap (1100m) after the gates were opened just seconds after jockey Sam Collett was catapulted out the back of the barriers when her horse Glorious Ruby lunged at the gates. All 11 jockeys from the race were called before stewards after it was won by Angela Jones aboard the Tony Gollan-trained Liquor, with stewards ultimately determining it should be declared a race, minus the non starters. When questioned by stewards, starter Hyrendo Anderson said he wasn’t aware that Collett had been thrown from her mount when he affected the start. Experienced riders Michael Rodd (Bold And Lucy) and Vlad Duric (Nanagui), along with Damien Thornton (Jayanthai) and Jake Bayliss (Amore Veloce) were the only jockeys to argue that their horses were not afforded a fair start in the circumstances, with stewards agreeing, declaring their mounts non-runners. 4yo mare Liquor with Angela Jones on board takes her impressive career record to 6 wins from 12 starts with a strong victory in today’s Fillies & Mares BM78 Hcp 1110m at Doomben. pic.twitter.com/dkh5Ojlsok — Gollan Racing (@tonygollan) July 13, 2024 • Gollan toasts record-breaking victories … in Fiji Under the Australian Rules of Racing however, Thornton’s mount Jayanthai was not able to be declared a non-runner as she finished in the official placings (second). “I wasn’t ready, I wasn’t lined up and my horse didn’t get a fair start,” Rodd, who had already ridden three winners, told stewards in the inquiry. “I only had one hand on the reins, I sat up thinking the siren for a false start would go after the gates opened.” Collett escaped the ordeal with a clean bill of health, with her horse Glorious Ruby also declared a non-runner. “Mine anticipated the start – when the gates didn’t open we slipped back, it wasn’t as if it was in there misbehaving,” she said.

It case you didn't realise you were posting on a public forum. If you want to have a private conversation with Dave then call him. Instead you post Liz Whelan's number. You really are a piece of work.
